Life At 24 Frames Per Second

A (Partial) Visual History of Iron Man Armor in the Movies

As a huge fan of the MCU’s Iron Man (the image below this text is from my collection) I had never heard of the Stan Lee Museum Popup, though luckily someone a bit more fortunate was able to attend past these pictures to me.

Below are replicas of various Iron Man armors from the films.

Mark I – Iron Man (2008)

Mark II – Iron Man (2008)

Mark III – Iron Man (2008)

Mark VI – Iron Man 2 (2010)

Mark XLII – Iron Man 3 (2013)

Mark XLIII – Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015)

Mark XLVI – Captain America: Civil War (2016)

Thodey’s armor, despite being based on Iron Man, is visually a different beast entirely with a more purposeful, military thrust more interested in form following function, making Stark’s suit gaudy by comparison.

War Machine

And while the statue’s based may say ‘The Avengers’ War Machine wasn’t in that movie (though he did appear in the Iron Man movies, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Avengers: Infinity War).

And I’m guessing this variant of his suit is either from Iron Man 2 or 3 (I thought it was bulkier in Avengers: Age of Ultron and Infinity War.
